Optus Stadium - Amendment to Regulation 19B venue approval

Consultation has concluded

Comments are invited on the Town's proposal to extend Optus Stadium's Regulation 19B venue approval until March 2026.

Background

In 2019, the Town issued a venue approval for Optus Stadium under Regulation 19B of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.

The approval allows Optus stadium to host a specific number and type of ‘notifiable events’ which exceed the assigned noise levels under the regulations, provided the events are carried out in accordance with the venue approval.

These events include entertainment events and motor sport events, and the approval only applies to events inside Optus Stadium and does not cover any events held outside or near the Stadium.

Regular sporting events at Optus Stadium (e.g. AFL matches) are not covered under the regulation 19B approval and are required to comply with standard noise levels.

The conditions of the current venue approval for Optus Stadium are as follows.

  1. No more than a combined total of ten notifiable events that are entertainment special events or motor sport events are to be held in any consecutive twelve month period.
  2. No more than a combined total of four notifiable events that are entertainment special events or motor sport events are to be held in any consecutive thirty day period.

The current regulation 19B venue approval for Optus Stadium expires on 10 February 2023.

Due to restrictions over the past few years associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Optus Stadium has not been able to host many notifiable events for the majority of their three-year approval period (the last notifiable event was held on 23 February 2020).

Considering the above, the Town is proposing to extend Optus Stadium’s regulation 19B venue approval until March 2026.

The Town is inviting comments on the proposed approval extension before making a final decision.
